Golden Germ Window Line Dichotomy

Abstract

Under RH, the continued third-order golden germ has a sharp on-line and off-line zero dichotomy inside the open golden window.

Theorem 1.1 (On-line germ zeros come from the zeta pullback or p = 2, 3).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Analytic/GermWindow/GoldenGermWindowLineDichotomy.golden_continued_germ_line_zero_iff_of_rh (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

On the pulled-back critical line, the frozen open-window classification and the critical-line nonvanishing theorem exclude every local factor at primes at least five. The remaining alternatives are the phi-squared zeta pullback and the local factors at p = 2 or p = 3.

Whether either small-prime local factor actually vanishes is a numerical question: this theorem neither asserts nor excludes such zeros. The result assumes RH and is not an RH proof path.

Theorem 1.2 (Off-line window zeros are exactly local-factor zeros).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Analytic/GermWindow/GoldenGermWindowLineDichotomy.golden_continued_germ_off_line_zero_iff_of_rh (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.

Away from the pulled-back critical line, the zeta-zero branch of the frozen window criterion is impossible. Thus a continued germ zero in the open window is exactly a zero of some canonical golden local factor.

This is a conditional consequence of RH and the frozen third-order factorization. It supplies no converse and is not a route to proving RH.
